how do you even play this?

dragging the mouse to queue moves for the squids should be better explained, but this is a really neat way to handle the "reverse pac man" idea! I like that you don't just play as one of the squids in real time but tactically maneuver all of them. Fun art style.

That was fun! Although I think it's a little weird that the sub didn't actually make an effort to avoid the squids. I could see this getting more unit types in a later version too

Did not run correctly. Its seems like the objective screen got overlaid on the the level. Clicking the squids lit them up but otherwise I couldn't figure out how to do anything.

That is unfortunate ! I guess I have to learn more about unity UI, because it works fine one my screen.

To move the Squid you have to click and drag to form a path that they will then travel

Thanks for your feedback !
